IMAGE: high-powered detection of genetic effects on DNA methylation using integrated methylation QTL mapping and allele-specific analysis

Abstract Identifying genetic variants that are associated with methylation variation—an analysis commonly referred to as methylation quantitative trait locus (mQTL) mapping—is important for understanding the epigenetic mechanisms underlying genotype-trait associations. Here, we develop a statistical...
